Durbin's Flip-Flop

Is he sorry or isn't he?

NewsMax reveals that Dick Durbin told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that he has nothing to apologize for.

Hours after Sen. Dick Durbin issued his so-called "apology" for comparing U.S. troops to "Nazis," the Illinois Democrat turned defiant over the blunder - declaring flat out that he has nothing whatsoever to apologize for.

"It's not that my remarks were wrong or that there's any need for apology," Durbin told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch on Friday. "It's the fact that [my critics] have successfully twisted them out of context."

Durbin blamed conservatives for his troubles, saying that he refused to be "intimidated by the right-wing message machine."
"If I'm going to back off every time they decide they're unhappy with my statements, then I really won't be doing my job."

Durbin vowed to pursue his investigation into Nazi-like abuses perpetrated by U.S. troops, telling the paper: "We're going to continue to follow this [and] demand that the administration be held accountable."

So, it's the right-wing critics that are at fault.

Durbin's comments weren't twisted or taken out of context. He's lying.

Simply put, he's not man enough to apologize to the men and women of our military and their families. He has no problem belittling the memory of the millions who died under Hitler, Stalin, and Pol Pot.

To my knowledge, not a single elected Democrat has come out and condemned Durbin. Not one!

Their silence is deafening.
